Honestly I don’t really care about personal opinions, but seriously why are we the only team who didn’t at least get an A
two teams below us got one although.

Meanwhile the 2nd rounder we picked up next year was by far the biggest net gain in value in the entire draft.
Who cares? Let’s see how they play. They are on our team now. How many times have teams “won the offseason” or “won the draft” and done nothing? I like the picks and if you do too that is all that matters until they play.
PS it is more fun to have an underdog story
Looks about right
I would love to see these historically. These “experts” grading I would bet are wrong most of the time.
I’m gonna ask an honest question: why even care?
Draft grades exist entirely to generate clicks and talking points. None of these people know how it’ll shake out, nor do their grades matter.
I mean objectively we walked out of day 2 with a RB who tore his ACL. A project LB. Plus lagette who comes with a ton of risks. Sanders and some back ups.
You can’t judge a draft based off the maximum high end upside for these players. Plus objectively we still have a ton of needs across the roster. And pretty much no depth. I think a C is appropriate given the boom or bust nature of this draft class specifically.
Didn’t they give us an A last year?
Yeah… I’m counting this as a win
For reference, the Panthers graded out a lot higher from 2020-2023. We consistently finished in the top half on Bugner’s aggregate chart, albeit never getting elite grades.
Just shows consensus has been pretty off on the Panthers in recent draft history.
Personally Im in the idea of screw draft grades. We have had a lot of A graded drafts that were utter DUDS. So Imma wait until at least halfway through year 2 before passing any ranking. Players are rookies until month 2 of their 2nd year in my opinion.
I’m actually glad people are low on our draft grades. Seems like high-grades that are released immediately are a kiss of death. Let people sleep on us. Will make rubbing it in their faces all the better if we start winning.
These are mostly nonsense, but the biggest knock against us is we gave up the 1st overall pick. Also, analysts have wildly different opinions on Legette.
I don’t mind not getting an A from anyone, I don’t think I would grade it that high myself and I’m a fan. What kills me is that anyone would give Atlanta or Denver an A. Some of these analysts are bigger homers than I am.

This isn’t my take, but this is what they sound like.
A few of the ones that I read included the fact we traded the #1 pick last year in their consideration, which doesn’t really feel fair
Really doesn’t matter but I would guess track record. Not exactly a well run franchise.
1) It doesn’t matter. 2) While the decision makers are new, our draft history is pretty bad. No benefit of the doubt.
who cares, these guys don’t know shit, our management doesn’t know shit, and we certainly don’t know shit lol
Basically nobody knows jack shit so everyone’s opinion is irrelevant
Bc they are Eagles fans
We’re the league punching bag until we prove teams otherwise. People want to laugh at us for taking Brooks in round 2 but they’d absolutely give Dallas an A+ for the pick if they took him.
Fuck all draft grades. Such a senseless bullshit.
Draft grades are the only thing more useless than 7 rd mocks.
This is all nonsense.
They take into zero account that we added a 2nd round pick for next year. Only the immediate impacts are considered.
These are the same experts who rated the chiefs draft as a C- or D when they grabbed Mahomes
Be a lot cooler if we got Legette + Cooper Dejean
Obviously this doesn’t matter, however, at least we’re not the Falcons 😂😂
They base it purely on each players value and not team needs. Like did the Bears need Odunze when they have DJ and Keenan? No
This whole draft reporting system is busted. They make the mock drafts and then grade them compared to how you did against what they expected. Teams don’t usually leak information unless it’s strategic and every draft is different. Teams are trying to move up and down and get their players in real time not weeks.
And on top of all of that draft grades should be handed out years after not days.
We beat Atlanta so I’m good
Draft grades are the fucking worse. This an attempt to give an immediate reaction to a long-term asset. These kids ain’t even stepped on the field yet
The Draft Grade answer key is based off the mock draft of the person giving out the grades. “You get a bad grade.” = “You didn’t draft who I thought you should have.”
Not only that, we picked a RB in the top 150 picks, which is like giving the middle finger to “Analysts.”
At its core it’s “Did you agree with me or not? I couldn’t be wrong, because I’m an analyst! I was right! You should have drafted who I told you to draft!”
